Summary: Can't get enough
Comment: Sparkle Island is a fantastic book which reminds us that in todays world of constantly shifting workplaces,homes, relationships or whatever, that the most important things cannot be bought for any price. Family life is the one true thing that needs to be cherished and I feel honored to be an observer into this author's family.
Not only are readers allowed a glimpse into an obviously warm and loving family, we are allowed to experience cottage life, with all of its charms. The sense of closeness they share and experience at the cottage almost convinces the reader Ja-Ma-Ca has magical qualities, which indeed it may have!
I have traveled around somewhat and still have many places I yearn to visit but now Walloon Lake is on my list. I long to collect a Petoskey stone, to eat planked whitefish, to go for a boat ride on the lake, and most of all to play petanque! Read this book and share it with others. You won't be disappointed, especially if you have a cottage or have summered at one.

Summary: Sparkle Island
Comment: Sparkle Island is one of the most delightful books I have ever read. Ellen Rosewall has an extraordinary gift for bringing the reader right onto the porch of her family's enchanting cottage. You can almost taste the lemonaide. Like any fine writer, Ellen writes what she knows. Her subject is familiar to anyone who has ever enjoyed a family vacation in a familiar cottage and anyone who has just dreamed of such a pleasure.
Every detail of cottage life is described in such a way that the reader can't help but want to plan a vacation to Walloon Lake or a reasonable facsimile. This book should be in every family and vacation cottage on earth, if only to inspire others to record and remember their family history.

Summary: Why Walloon is such a special place
Comment: This book captured the special feelings about Walloon Lake that only one who had spent all one's life there could know. I was surprised to see that Ms. Rosewall was not closer to my age (63) as she enjoyed so many of the places that I did, which unfortunately are no longer there. One of the reviewers compared it to Lake Woebegon, but to me, there is no such similarity. I still feel the same way about the lake when we visit. The lake itself is a memory bank.
